Why stay any where else in Bend, OR
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 2/25/08
Where to start? This, our third visit to Cricketwood Bed and Breakfast and enjoying the friendship of Tracy and Jim has been the best of all our trips to Bend, Oregon. We’re annual visitors to the area, having stayed in other bed and breakfast inns we have found Jim and Tracy’s Cricketwood to be the Nordstrom’s of B & Bs. We’re spoiled now and cannot begin to consider any other location to stay while visiting the Bend area. To us, why stay in an impersonal hotel or motel when you can be pampered to your heart’s desire by Tracy and Jim? Unbelievable customer first focused attention, they strive to make each guest’s visit the most enjoyable possible. We cannot begin to list all the amenities and special treats they offer, almost all of it complementary but here’s a small sample. Excellent cold beer, soft drinks, water, wine available at any hour, free of charge. Fresh baked cookies, tasty hot chocolate delivered to your door each night (but you don’t just have to have hot chocolate, perhaps coffee or decaf is more to your liking, no problem). Hot fresh coffee delivered to your door each morning as you dress so you may prepare yourself to sit down and enjoy a gourmet breakfast made when you want, as you want. After a day of skiing, hiking or just touring Bend, there’s the hot tub under the stars in the evening. We love to watch the clouds and stars pass over while relaxing and letting our bodies soak in the soothing warmth of the water. Then to fall into a soft, pillow topped bed so comfortable you’ll be fast asleep in no time and ready to enjoy another day just like the first all over again. That was only a small sampling of the many amenities available but first and foremost is wonderful care and attention furnished by Jim and Tracy. We consider them our friends as well as our hosts and they really do make each of our visits special. They are the reason why we’ll keep coming back to Cricketwood year after year.
